In the early time of optical design, people have to be proficient in aberration theory and perform a huge amount of numerical calculations, and thus mathematical skills and talents are very important.

Freeform optical system design and metrology represent a paradigm shift in the development of imaging and sensing technologies. By allowing optical surfaces to depart from traditional rotational ...

Researchers have combined theory and practice in a step-by-step method that eliminates much of the guesswork of using freeform lenses. Lenses and mirrors with freeform surfaces enable designers to ...

The Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology is pleased to announce that this week’s seminar will be presented by Derek Kopon from MIT Lincoln Laboratory on Thursday, Oct. 19 at 1 p.m. in ...

Enhanced computations of first-order properties enable superior optimization and analysis of asymmetric and freeform optical systems Extended aspheric surface formulations provide improved ...

The LightTools Advanced Design Module provides specialized tools for the design of freeform optics for a wide range of illumination applications New capabilities help users model spatial temperature ...

A freeform optical component is not symmetric around its optical axis. It provides some attractive features to optical designers to correct multiple aberrations with fewer optical surfaces, and make ...

New optical systems of the kinds required for augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) displays are likely to exploit developments in novel components such as metasurfaces and freeform optics, and ...

Today, Tecno held the 5th edition of the Tecno Future Lens event, which aims to introduce the company’s imaging innovations to the media. The highlights this year are Dual-Mirror Reflect Telephoto and ...
